Today I uploaded a video to my RX series which explains the Magic-T combiner. 
I have received a few emails asking me “how do I make the magic-T”? so I 
thought a video would be helpful. 

I show the method for winding and building the Magic-T combiner and I explain 
how it is used in phased RX antennas. 
The associated 2:1 impedance transformer is discussed, and I show the 
difference between an isolated and auto-transformer architecture. 

I also discuss an error that can be made when building phased RX antennas if 
care is not taken to avoid an unintentional 180 phase shift at one of the 
elements, especially if using home-brew matching boxes.
